S1 Ep 1: Wound care..you know you need it!

Dr Kerri Purdy speaks with Dr Laurie Parsons, a dermatologist and wound care expert in Edmonton. They discuss some of the strengths dermatologists bring to the field of wound care. And they answer resident questions such as:Approach to dressings in general (broad categories and when to use them)What dressings are best to prevent scars or improve cosmetic outcome?When should wound care be referred to a vascular surgeon? To a nursing service? Or when is it best for a dermatologist to manage?How soon can you expect wounds to heal in simple and moderately complex cases?What to do when you’ve tried everything you can think of, and the wound is not healing?As always, the discussion goes beyond these specific questions and offers residents a wide-ranging look at this critical aspect of patient care.
